Why are assassinations being staged? Regardless of how much you may disagree with him or hate him, is this a valid expression of such disagreement? Does that mean that if you could get away with it, you would actually do it? Then, what is the difference between you and terrorists?

In the old days, we used to see news clips from middle east and India where people burnt effigies of leaders they hated. We thought that an uncivilized form of protest. Never thought mainstream media and popular media in the US would resort to the same uncivilized demonstrations.

Forget about other people. Il Douche was personally encouraging 2nd amendment people to do something about Clinton. I guess these family values conservatives don't expect decency from their own leaders but expect it from liberals.

The play begins with a bank of video monitors featuring every talking head in the business—Keith Olbermann, Glenn Beck, Erin Burnett, Rachel Maddow, etc.—all mouthing in ultra-slow-motion the daily wave of misinformation and speculation we continue to call "the news." As the heads dissolve into TV snow, in walks Caesar and his cabinet. And, because Caesar is cast as a tall, lanky black man, the Obama inference is a bit too obvious. But it fits, sort of. Like Caesar, Obama rose to power on a tide of public goodwill; like Caesar, there were many in government who doubted Obama's leadership abilities; and now that Obama's first term has failed to live up to the messianic hype, there are plenty of people who—for the good of the country, you understand, not their own glory—want to take Obama down.

Please write to The American Conservative and let them know that you think they are liberals. Please keep us posted if and how they respond.

The American Conservative never stooped to the level of Kathy Griffin so I don't see a need to write to them on this topic. And who is "us"? Speak for yourself.

This thread is about an adaptation of the play Julius Caesar casting someone who looks like the president in Caesar's role. And what justification or explanation there can be for such a casting choice, whether insanity is a possible reason for it. This thread is not about Kathy Griffin.
